# 14.20. How do I check which version of KDE I'm using?

Fire up your KDE Control Center. If there's no mention of KDE's version number, then it must be 1.0.

Another clear difference is the 'K' on the panel. In 1.0 it's a black-and-white 3D K, while in 1.1 it's a white K on top of a wheel.

Or if you have installed KDE from RPMs try:

     $ rpm -qa  | grep kde
     kdesupport-1.1pre2-2rh5x
     kdeadmin-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdelibs-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdegraphics-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdemultimedia-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdetoys-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdegames-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdeutils-1.1pre2-1rh5x
     kdebase-1.1pre2-1rh5x

so my current version is 1.1pre2.
